Promoting policies that incentivize the peaceful use of technology.

Technology is advancing at an unprecedented pace, yet much of this progress is occurring without the ethical frameworks needed to guide it responsibly. The lack of guardrails has led to innovations that can be deeply destabilizing, particularly in a world where conflict is both intensifying and becoming more frequent. While private industry continues to drive technological advancement, peacekeeping and conflict prevention are rarely factored into the innovation process.

The Center for Applied Peace Strategies aims to incentivize innovators (private and public) to incorporate peacebuilding considerations into technology design and implementation. The goal is to elevate “stability” to the level of “sustainability” in public awareness and corporate ethics.”
